Let's face it. Everyone can use a little help in the dating and love departments. It just so happens that sometimes such help comes in the form of a hysterical book that has a cover showing a teddy bear riddled with arrows and the word "Hell" in the title. Written in Rodney's trademarked comedic style, Romantic As Hell gives some great relationship advice like: - Why shouldn't I give a feral cat as a token of my affection? - Why you're not fooling anyone with that "free back massage any time" coupon. - Which "romantic getaways" should you avoid, and which one may result in having your own shoes thrown at you? - Why doesn't my man wear his Pinocchio thong? - How can we keep the spark alive while parenting in a house with four children who are all busy annoying the crap out of us? Each hilarious story is punctuated with amazing illustrations that transform the book into a highly entertaining feast for the eyes, as well. Forming a relationship is hard. Keeping a relationship is harder. But adding romance into that relationship? Well, that can be a real bitch, can't i ...
